about taisti

Who are we

The TAISTI project (“Development of a Technology based on Artificial Intelligence for inferring SubsTitutable recipe Ingredients”) has received funding from the Norway Grants 2014-2021 via the National Centre for Research and Development under Small Grant Scheme.

The project is realized at the Poznan University of Technology by an interdisciplinary team of researchers between July 2021 and June 2023.

What is our goal?

TAISTI is designed to answer specific questions aimed at solving practical problems of detecting ingredients in a recipe that should be replaced concerning a special diet, dish or other constraints and recommending their valid substitutes.

What do we focus on?

The project focuses on providing practical solutions, researching various designs and experimentally evaluating them with a purpose to propose a new AI-based technology providng:

  • Integrated knowledge and data resources on culinary recipes and their ingredients to fuel artificial intelligence algorithms
  • Novel data-driven (machine learning-based) methods to recommend candidate ingredient substitutes and predict their characteristics
  • Novel knowledge-driven (logic reasoning-based) methods to select and explain target ingredients and their valid substitutes
  • Proof-of-concept system for recommending ingredient substitutes to integrate and demonstrate the developed technologies
